Mary Keen to Niall Hobhouse on the question of Gardener ver Designer

Thanks so much for tireless help and time yesterday. I really enjoyed it and meeting the daughter.

Just read your Cedric Price piece which is terrific and made me understand your ‘unblinking interrogation’ of the project a bit better. One question ( I will try not to do this all day) You are expecting the Chosen One to live and garden at Hadspen? Not an established designer with serf to execute the plan? Well well Sissinghurst and Hidcote AND Lutyens sounds pretty arts and crafts to me. One day you must come here and see a non garden.
